What is Polymer Clay?

A sequence of the best definitions I could find for it is listed below, but antecipating it I leave my own simple and humble definition of Polymer Clay: -The most versatile of all the mediums I’ve ever touched or put my eyes on.

Now, by the Gods and with all my respect:

A polymer clay is a soft modeling clay that can be baked to a ceramic-like hardness at a much lower temperature than terra-cotta or water clay. The clay consists of a suspension of microscopic beads of polyvinyl chloride in a petroleum-based fluid. …mannartgallery

a synthetic material consisting of tiny polyvinyl chloride particles suspended in plasticizers and mixed with various pigments. It is soft and pliable when raw, and becomes hard when cured. Items sculpted out of polymer clay are waterproof and fade-resistant.eugenas creations

Polymer clay is a manmade material that remains pliable for long periods, but bakes or “cures” to hardness at fairly low temperatures. …suncoutrygems

Polymer clay is a sculptable material based on the polymer polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It usually contains no clay minerals, and is only called …wikipedia

Polymer clay is, as the name implies, a pliable, blendable polymer compound for artists and crafters. It’s not a true clay – clay is fine particles of silicate suspended in water, whereas polymer clay is fine particles of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) suspended in plasticizer – but it can be used much like clay.jaedworks

Now that you have enough of definitions, why don’t you go get yourself some colorful blocks of clay to start working with and draw your own conclusions, you will be amazed how none of the best definitions arent still enough to describe Polymer Clay.
